IF you loved “Temptation Island” you’ll absolutely go berserk for “Looking For Love: Bachelorettes in Alaska,” premiering tonight on Fox. For one thing, there is no redeeming social value what so ever. None. And I like that in a show – especially when it’s so cheesy that every word makes you cringe with embarrassment.

I mean, how lonely can you be that you’d be willing to go all the way to Alaska just to bag a husband? Or worse, that you’d be willing to stand on the ice just waiting for women to show up?

It’s astounding that people are willing to do this. I mean, really, what is this 1863 – and these women are mail order brides hoping to hook a dopey gold miner? Puleeze.

So, what makes this show different from the horrible, horrible, “The Bachelor,” which still gives me agita? For one thing, there are a lot of women and they choose from a lot of men. It’s not, like “The Bachelor” with a giant gaggle of pathetic loser women hoping to get picked by one man who looks like he’s never figured out what the hell to do with a woman besides go shopping with her.

The main thing is that the playing field is leveled somewhat. The women don’t all compete for one big cheeseball pencil head.

Not that most of these Alaskan guys aren’t cheeseballs, but you can overlook a lot when they look this good. Besides, what did the women expect from men who live in Alaska? How sophisticated can you get living in an igloo – or wherever the hell they live in the middle of all that snow.

Anyway, this group of single women is airlifted into Alaska where they get to pick from a group of men who are bizarrely standing in the snow waiting for them to show up. The men who don’t get picked have to leave and go plow driveways or something.

The women then go on dates with the men they choose, but then other men show up and throw axes to win the women away from them.

Talk about basic. Seriously, how can you hate a show where strange men win your love by competing in “manly man” competitions? It sure beats fighting over which decorator will redo the den.

At any rate, there’s this one woman named Rebbeka whom everyone hates. Or should I say all the other women hate, and all the men make fools of themselves for. She is a big annoying show-off who says things like, “I just don’t know why all the men like me so much.” Oy veh, as they say in Anchorage.

At any rate, the point of the show is, well, who the hell knows, but it’s funny and awful and cheesy and embarrassing. They snowboard, ski, dog sled and apparently sleep around. Or so it seems from the previews.

In the first episode, people are picked, eliminated and so forth. Most of the men are big hunks, including the host Steve Santagati, and they’d make out like bandits if they ever left Alaska. Or maybe not. Who knows – on dry land they might act like half-wits.

The goal is marriage and by the last episode the women stand like pathetic losers in wedding dresses in the snow and wait to get proposed to. They of course can say no. Big deal. They are still pathetic losers. You want to scream at them, “Never marry a man in uniform!!” If you took them to the city, they might cook elk or something.

The thing that makes this show fun, however, is that since the playing field is level, and everyone is pathetic, you can’t help but laugh. Fox knows the how to make losers fun to watch instead of making them just look sad and lonely.

Besides, the cheese factor is so high that you can get blocked arteries just by watching it. Now that’s entertainment.
